Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Inter will look to cement top position in the standings when they take on Genoa in the closing match of the Serie A round 27. The Nerazzurri look unstoppable at the moment, but the Rossoblu should not be written off just yet. All Acerbi, Cuadrado, Sensi, and Thuram should miss out with injuries, while Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer is out of contention through illness.
Genoa, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five away games, but given Inter’s excellent home record in the 2023/2024 Serie A campaign, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of claiming a major scalp at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. In their last meeting at the venue Inter crushed Genoa 4-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Midfielder Alan Maturro remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
